Oh, dude...you should see Europe -in particular, the Czech Republic. I was standing at the overlook point (in Prague) and all I could see were church steeples. It was completely archaic.
Amen to that , the words in red. Those are the ones that matter. Not the words from the man dressed in black and adorned with gold rings and jewelry asking how much money you make. I know a preacher who is a simple man , wears jeans has a ton of kids, heats with wood and helps the poor with a non profit food pantry. He has warts on his face and hair growing out of his ears. His eyes are as blue as the sky with the light of the Holy Spirit. H e is my friend and Jesus is in him. Not a fraud like so many who deceive the world. Jesus told us to judge a man by his fruit. What does he say and do. That exposes his heart and his faith. No man can serve two masters. The fruit shows which master you serve.
and why Jessie J. and Uncle Al, are not considered "Men of the Cloth" in my book.... All mouth, and "Give me the Money"....
Psalm 19:1 concisely shows God's handiwork..... "The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament shows his handiwork. 2 Day to day utters speech, and night to night shows knowledge." How this single example can be ignored is amazing. GB
